Fix font:raleway version mess

This font is a mess because the upstream sources are all over the place. Each new version seems to show up on a different distribution channel, usually without a version number or source code, and people have been just guessing what they are. There are several upstream source repositories posted by different people that have worked on the family but they don't even all match each other. The most coherent clues come from the changelog posted at Google Fonts: https://github.com/google/fonts/blob/master/ofl/raleway/FONTLOG.txt There it is clear that some version scheme has been attempted. The personal sandbox of one of the designers also suggests the version 3.x being the last official release. https://github.com/impallari/Raleway There he also has some ongoing development work tagged as 4.x, but as of yet it is incomplete and considered unreleased. This tries to straighten the version scheme processing so snapshots are ignored, devel versions are so tagged, and the 1.x, 2.x and 3.x releases are actually assumed to be correct. Note also Raleway Dots is a separate font with a different upstream release cycle not actually versioned along with Raleway.
